Architectural Drawings Services

“My experience with Toni Ford from Karanda Interiors was direct, no nonsense, no time wasting communication with invaluable advise and direction which resulted in our home having the feel and look exactly as I wanted, in addition I have no doubt our homes sale price was beyond expectation due to the excellent planning and design both indoors and outdoors. Toni has vast experience and skills from choosing a tap through to design and drawings. I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you are renovating, building, whether small or large spending, begin the project with Toni! 20 years on, I continue to liaise with Toni on any changes in my home.

“A friend suggested we obtain a quote from Neil Turrell after we had plans approved by council for an extensive renovation which included putting a master bedroom upstairs. We had already narrowed our choice of builders down to two, but my husband and I thought that it wouldn’t hurt to get one more quote from Turrell’s especially because our friend who we trusted was so insistent that we speak to Neil. From our first interaction with Leisa Turrell we were provided with exceptional service. Neil was responsive and attended our place within a week. He took away the plans we already had drawn up and promised to provide a quote as soon as possible. A few days later he called, explained that he was discussing our plans with his in-house designer Alec and confessed that they didn’t believe our existing plan was ‘good bang for our buck’. He asked us to consider a different option and suggested that Alec come and visit our property so he could get a first hand feel for the block. When Alec visited I walked him through the very original house and explained all the things that were frustrating us and that we hoped to rectify in the renovation. I was still a little unsure what Turrell’s was proposing but trusted Neil when he suggested we explore all options before committing to such an extensive project. Within a few weeks Alec had drawn up the most fantastic plan, which we instantly loved. What’s more, he had listened to what I’d asked for and addressed everything in my rather extensive list. We were kicking ourselves that we hadn’t heard about Turrell's earlier and wasted time and money with other designers (one of which never even attended our house to speak to us!). We are so grateful that Neil had the courage to give us his honest opinion. The plans that Turrell's designed are far superior in terms of functionality, street appeal and overall layout. From that point we knew we were in the right hands and had made the right decision to proceed with Turrell’s. We were assigned an absolutely A-grade team of builders - Stevie and Mason capably and cheerily led by Laeton - who set about miraculously turning Alec’s awesome drawings into reality. Our renovation was extensive: replacing every window and door in the house; a new roof; an extension including a master suite; new garage; laundry; three bathrooms, a deck and a magnificent kitchen. Furthermore Turrell's accommodated us living through the reno which was not easy for the team at times. Laeton completely understood me and my style and worked compatibly with us to achieve our end result suggesting little things here and there that put the icing on the cake. We trusted him implicitly - which cannot be overstated when you are working in such close proximity. Whenever we struck a stumbling block (and let’s be real there are always stumbling blocks in reno’s) the team were quick to troubleshoot or come up with a workable solution. Neil was very attentive and available and kept a watchful eye over our project right through to completion and followed through on a number of minor things. We honestly could not be happier with the home Turrell’s have created for us. We pinch ourselves everyday that we have such a lovely home now. We miss the buzz of the team on site - they felt like family after our seven month intense relationship! I think even the neighbours miss them! We have people stopping on a regular basis to tell us how great our place looks which is a great compliment to Turrell’s. All of our dealings with Turrell’s - from the office staff through to Leisa and Neil have been professional and respectful which helped reduce the stress of such a huge project. We would not hesitate in recommending Turrell’s Building to anyone seeking a quality renovation and would be happy to provide a verbal reference if required.”

“We engaged Quadrant Design Architects to design our new family home in Hampton. The enthusiasm and skill of Tony Jackson and the Quadrant Design was obvious from our first meeting. Tony and his team cleverly set about understanding, interpreting and expanding on our thoughts and ideas for the new home. The refinement process of concept sketches through to detailed drawings resulted in an innovative, functional and architecturally interesting design - far more functional, interesting and exciting than we had hoped. The Quadrant team expertly managed the tender process to find a suitable builder for the home's construction. Quadrant's detailed and precise design drawings enabled the successful builder to bring the design to life and the further input of Quadrant Design on Interior Design has resulted in an amazing family home. We would, and have, highly recommend Quadrant Design to any of our friends who are starting the process of a new home build or renovation. Thanks to Tony Jackson and his team at Quadrant Design, we are now living with daily reminders of the cleverness of our home's design and it's architectural beauty.”
